Carpet Scrubbing
Need more than vacuuming?
We also offer carpet scrubbing/deep carpet cleaning for move-in and move-out situations.
This is a great option when carpets have accumulated dirt, stains, pet messes, or general wear and need extra attention before the next occupant arrives.
Add carpet cleaning to your move-out or move-in cleaning for a more complete property refresh.
Property Cleanouts & Light Demolition
Sometimes cleaning a property means more than wiping down surfaces.
Through Rittenour Junk Removal, we can also help with light/small demolition and removal projects to get a property completely cleared and ready.
We Can Remove Things Like:
- Old sheds
- Decks
- Above-ground pools
- Hot tubs
- Playsets
- Old fencing
- Small structures
- Outdoor furniture
- Cabinets and built-ins
- Unwanted fixtures
- Flooring and other removable materials
- General household debris
Light & Small Demolition
Need something taken apart before it can be removed?
We can handle certain small-scale demolition and dismantling projects, including breaking down and removing unwanted structures and materials.
This can be especially helpful during:
- Estate cleanouts
- Home sales
- Moving
- Rental turnover
- Property renovations
- Foreclosure cleanouts
Demolition services are limited to projects that are appropriate for our equipment, crew, and disposal capabilities. Larger structural demolition, hazardous materials, and projects requiring specialized contractors are not included.
Need Junk Removed Too?
That’s where Rittenour makes things easier.
If you’re moving out and still have:
- Old furniture
- Mattresses
- Appliances
- Boxes
- Household items
- Garage clutter
- Basement items
- Trash
- Unwanted belongings
- Outdoor items
- Shed debris
- Deck materials
- Pool materials
We can remove it.
Once the property is empty, we can clean it so it’s ready for the next step.
Our services are ideal for:

The Rittenour Difference
We Don’t Just Clean the House. We Help Get the Property Ready. A property often can’t be properly cleaned until everything is out.
That’s why our services work together.
- Need a shed gone? We can help.
- Need an old deck removed? We can help.
- Need an above-ground pool taken apart and hauled away? We can help.
- Need the junk out of the house? We can help.
- Need the empty house cleaned afterward? We can do that too.
- Need the carpets scrubbed? Add that too.
One Team From Cleanout to Clean.
Our Process
1. Tell Us What You Need
We’ll discuss the property and the services you’re looking for..
2. Clear It Out
We’ll remove unwanted belongings, debris, and qualifying items or structures.
3. Light Demo — If Needed
If something needs to be dismantled or lightly demolished before removal, we can handle qualifying projects.
4. Clean the Empty Home
Once the property is cleared, we’ll clean the home from top to bottom.
5. Scrub the Carpets
Add carpet scrubbing for an extra level of clean.
6. Ready for What’s Next
The property is left empty, clean, and ready for its next chapter.
Rittenour Cleaning specializes in move-in and move-out cleaning of empty homes.
We do not currently provide recurring residential housekeeping or routine occupied-home cleaning.
For the best results, the property should be empty or mostly empty before cleaning begins.
Light demolition and structure-removal services are evaluated case-by-case.
We do not perform major structural demolition or handle hazardous materials such as asbestos, lead-based hazards, or other regulated materials.
Additional services, heavy buildup, excessive debris, difficult-to-remove stains, specialty cleaning, or demolition may require additional charges.
We’ll discuss your property’s needs with you before scheduling.
